Snickerdoodle Cookies

This week my daughter, aka “the Pinterest lover”, has been salivating over goodies she has seen on Pinterest and pleaded with me to let her make something “fun” (as she says)

Who doesn’t love a good Snickerdoodle cookies?  They are one of my favorites Mrs. Fields cookies growing up.  This recipe is perfection! A little crisp on the outside, soft on the inside.

One of the keys to making the perfect snickerdoodle is not using too much flour. Be sure to level off your measuring cup carefully. (or if you happen to have a kitchen scale, that is by far the most precise.)

Snickerdoodle Cookies Ingredients 

1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup brown sugar

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 1/2 cups flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp cream of tartar

1/4 tsp salt

For the topping:

2 TBSP granulated sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

How to Make Snickerdoodle Cookies

In a medium, cream the butter, brown sugar and white sugar with an electric mixer.

Add the egg and vanilla and mix until smooth.

In another bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt.

Pour the dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix thoroughly.

Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

In a small bowl, mix the sugar with the cinnamon for the topping.

Roll about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the dough into a ball.

Then roll this ball in the cinnamon & sugar mixture and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. (I like to roll them twice!)

Bake for 12 to 14 minutes.

ENJOY!!

    I have seen your post/cookies several different places over the last couple of days and every single time I stop and stare, and my mouth begins to water slightly. I love cookies, especially cookies without chocolate chips, or anything extra. Think I will finally give these a try, I think I have been given a sign lol.

    I recently started sharing recipes on The Jenny Evolution and thought it would be terrific to have a group on FB where we can share our recipes not just with other bloggers but with people who are searching out recipes. That said, I’m launching a Food Blogger group! If we work together we can make this a great outlet for all of us. If you’d like to join, visit me here https://www.facebook.com/groups/341455112700743/

    To be approved post to the group, please follow the directions in the group description. Look forward to seeing you there!
